U+14558 "𔕘" Anatolian Hieroglyph A306 is a specific inscription symbol from the Anatolian hieroglyphic script, which was used primarily in the Bronze and Iron Ages by the Luwian people in what is now modern Turkey and northern Syria. This character, part of the larger Anatolian Hieroglyphs block, represents a logographic or syllabic sign that often depicts a stylized object or concept, though its exact phonetic or semantic value is determined by its context within inscriptions.
